If only this would happen in the next 2-3 years. I personally maintain that the "real" reason Americans went to trucks in such a big way in the '80s and '90s was becuase automakers deserted RWD for FWD econoboxes, midsize and, eventually, luxury cars. And the development -- and success -- of plusher, more "sophisticated" trucks, minitrucks and SUVs was a stopgap that kept those buyers in the fold.
If GM could build a latter-day 2002/1600 sedan with two or four-door options (and an "active lifestyle vehicle/station wagon), they'd clean up.
